Review: The UK government has embarked on a major investment programme, which will bring in £1 billion’s worth of refurbishment, improvement and new building work to primary care facilities. This book is designed for doctors and architects to help them understand the briefing process and produce the best briefs for the designs of primary health care buildings. Here the author sets new standards and procedures for uncovering and resolving the inherent conflicts in the design process. The book considers not only healthy living centres, but also one-stop primary care centres, walk-in centres, polyclinics, superclinics, health kiosks, drop-in facilities, local health care resource centres, and other community-based health facilities.
